Jamaal Williams scores in Packers’ loss.

Williams carried 12 times for 55 yards and added four receptions for 42 yards versus the Bears. Aaron Jones left the game with a knee injury in the first quarter, and it’s probably an injury that’ll force him to miss more time, so there’s a chance Williams is a workhorse-type back the final two games of the season. After a solid showing against one of the league’s best defenses, Williams is probably the no-doubt top pickup on waiver wires for Week 16.

Cordarrelle Patterson catches three passes in Week 15.

Patterson gained 20 yards on his three receptions against the Steelers, catching all three targets that went his way. Patterson continues to be reliable as a receiver, but his role isn’t quite big enough to trust him in fantasy lineups with titles on the line.

Aaron Rodgers’ interception-less streak ends as the Packers are eliminated from playoff contention.

Rodgers was 25/42 for 274 yards and one interception along with three carries for 25 yards in the Week 15 loss to the Bears; it was the first time Rodgers and the Packers have lost at Soldier Field since 2010. Chicago put a lot of pressure on Rodgers throughout the game, sacking him five times, but he didn’t have a particularly good game while missing some throws throughout. Rodgers’ interception was on a pass that he threw behind a tightly-covered Jimmy Graham, which was deflected by Bears rookie linebacker Roquan Smith before getting picked off. The turnover ended Rodgers’ interception-less streak of 402 games, and NFL record. In a less difficult matchup, Rodgers will be more of a QB1 option for fantasy finals next week against the Jets.

Nick Mullens, 49ers upset the Seahawks, 26-23.

Mullens was 20/29 for 275 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions in the overtime victory. He missed some throws, but overall, Mullens played well in Kyle Shanahan’s offense, which continues to utilize the tight ends (George Kittle and Garrett Celek combined for 112 yards and a score). The 49ers will stay home in Week 16, but the tough matchup against Chicago will likely keep Mullens outside the top-25 at the position.

Todd Gurley (knee) has returned to tonight’s game.

Gurley’s knee injury appeared to be minor, and he is indeed back in the game after a brief absence. He’ll look to help lead a comeback with the Rams down by ten points late in the third quarter.

Rob Gronkowski catches two passes in Week 15.

Gronkowski was held to 21 yards on his two receptions against the Steelers in one of the most surprising performances of the week. Pittsburgh threw a lot of coverages, including double teams, at Gronkowski, and he just couldn’t get much going against a team he normally dominates (average of over 110 yards with eight touchdowns in six games previous to this one). The All-Pro tight end will look to bounce back next Sunday against the Bills and should obviously remain in fantasy lineups for title matchups.

Josh Adams (back) has returned for the Eagles.

Adams didn’t miss much time and is back in there against the Rams. The rookie already has one touchdown tonight while splitting time with Wendell Smallwood and Darren Sproles.
